  1. Not sure if anyone has mentioned in comments, the tavern keeper (the roe in orange) looks exactly like the tavern keeper in the Crystarium. Makes me wonder how many 1.0 references did I miss in that city.

  2. I'm believe 1.0 and ARR trailer took place in Ardbert's world not ours.
    It explained why his companions are all missing in HW to ShB trailer because HW is our journeys not his.
    I mean we start our Journey to one of the main three cities alone.

  4. I know you're memeing, and it's possible they just wanted to remind people how far they've come and this doesn't matter, but… There's a lot in this trailer that Endwalker could circle back to, and it fits with the theme about looking back at the beginning. The dragon is Midgardsormr. The lake the ship (Agrius) and Midgardsormr crash into is Silvertear Lake (Mor Dhona). That event is what caused Mor Dhona to be what it is now. It also unleashed the primals. It's likely the area is also what connects the shards, given the whole Crystal Tower/Crystarium proximity to it as well as to the First's similar lake called the Source (Lakeland). Midgardsormr's larger role has been hinted at piecemeal, especially during Heavensward.

    And then there's the other point that the characters featured in the old trailers are analogs to the Warriors of Darkness. A lot of people were confused about the different spelling of Arbert versus Ardbert, but that's obviously purposeful. They aren't the exact same person, but reflections of each other. I think this is the same for Silvertear Lake and its counterpart–"The Source"–in Lakeland on the First. The shards are connected through such reflections… Warriors of Light and Darkness, Silvertear Lake and "The Source," etc. There's probably multiple reflections per shard even. But there's probably connections through the ethereal sea Midgardsormr knows about, and I'm going to guess he was guarding those connections. He knows more than he's let on so far. He is, afterall, who guided us when Hydaelyn went quiet. But the crystals he gave us were multi-colored. He's the key to all the reflections, IMO.

  5. Wdym? Battle levequests are the fastest way to level to 15 since ARR and still till now. Since they don't sync your party members, you can complete each one in less than a minute and get massive exp.

  6. I love how so many people are now seeing the 1.0 trailer even after they beat shadow bringers and have yet to notice that the party in the vision with Derplander (who is Ardbart I would bet on) are people we have seen 2 diffrent times now once in HW and then in ShB…. they are the Warriors of Darkness.

  7. I had not watched this trailer in like a decade. I do find it interesting that Derplander had what looks to be a great sword in the trailer, when that was not an available weapon until Heavensward with the release of Dark Knight. I attribute that to the absence of continuity on the part of the original development team though.

    There was no grand design for FFXIV at its release. There was no ten year plan. Just a broken game that broke a lot of hearts. But, it would be very like them for Yoshi P and the gang made this trailer relevant to the story they have built. We shall see, soon enough.

  8. Idk… I think they turned the 1.0 trailer into the beginning days of the Warriors of Darkness’s Party at somewhere in the 1st, and an echo (vision) from mommy pointing him down the path leading to their fate. The place itself looks like what the Crystariums architecture was based off of. While the Crystal tower is pretty, it’s arrival and the creation of the surrounding town was AFTER the flood. So we’re going to def. be learning more of the prior culture from before the flood.

  9. It's Ardbert and Team – The first adventures of his team before something happen (Avoiding posting spoilers as this will be revealed at some parts of Heavensward, the end of Stormblood and Shadowbringers). When you complete the job quests of each fighting class, they are linked to the story of his team and everything will be explained in detail.
